9/30 National Preparedness Symposium
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is facing a tremendous number of challenges including more violent and frequent weather incidents, preparedness awareness, long-term disaster recovery efforts and continuing financial constraints. To achieve the best outcomes, the Department of Homeland Security’s Quadrennial Homeland Security Review identifies strengthening public-private partnerships as critical to integrating the private sector’s innovation, resources, ingenuity and experience to the mission.
Join us to discuss the changing challenges to FEMA and other government facilities posed by changing climate conditions, the advances in alert systems and disaster communications, new technologies to support the mission and what concrete steps we can take to strengthen the exchange between the public and private sector.
